Class trip to Indianapolis October 12-14th
Deposit and forms (Jameson camp, Connor Prarie, Device expecations and Behavior expectations) due September 4th!
Unit 1 - Light and Matter
We have started our first big unit of study on Light.
Students now have a yellow Science Notebook that will be used daily in class.
"Big" Driving Question - Why do we sometimes see different things when looking at the same object?
We are using a one-way mirror as our anchoring phenomenon and trying to figure out how they work.
Week of 10/12-10/16: Last week, we introduced the idea of Academic Discourse to our students (asking thoughtful questions, refering text, adding on to points, comparing/contrasting ideas, etc.) and they did SO WELL! This week, after the students return from the trip on Wednesday, the students will participate in a graded Academic Discourse activity. Then, Friday, they will have further time to continue to read and work on their Great Reading Projects.
Keep in mind: 3 books and the Great Reading Project are DUE Friday 11/6 (the end of Trimester 1). This may seem very far away, but it will sneak up fast! Feel free to check in with your student as well to make sure they are on pace to complete this!
We will not have a grammar focus this week due to the 7th grade trip.

Week of 10/19-10/23 - We are continuing in Unit 4. Quiz Friday over Graphing and Writing Linear Equations
Unit 2: Rise and Spread of Islam
Seventh grade students will begin our Rise and Spread of Islam unit, guided by the compelling question, “How can beliefs change the world?” Students will explore the origins and spread of Islam, examine cultural and intellectual achievements of the Islamic world, and consider Islam’s lasting impact on global history. The unit approaches Islam from a historical and cultural perspective, with students using sources and comparisons to understand how religious beliefs can shape societies and connect civilizations.
